In love with duality, they waste away their lives in vain. They drown themselves, and drown their entire family; speaking lies, they eat poison.
The Supreme Lord God is imperceptible and unfathomable; meeting the Holy Saint, I speak the Unspoken Speech.
When You are with me, what more could I want? I speak only the Truth.
The Vedas speak and expound on the Lord, but they do not know His limits.
Everyone says that God is the Greatest of the Great. No one calls Him any less. No one can estimate His Worth. By speaking of Him, His Greatness is not increased. You are the One True Lord and Master of all the other beings, of so many worlds.
When one speaks the Truth, a bond is established with the Holy Scriptures.
Those, within whom the Truth dwells, obtain the True Name; they speak only the Truth.
Those who speak of the truest of the true, day and night - their minds are imbued with the Truth.
They hear the Truth, and speak it with their mouths.
By speaking and hearing these Praises, they are not used up.
Some speak and expound, and while speaking and lecturing, they pass away.
With my mouth I speak slander, day and night. I spy on the houses of others - I am such a wretched low-life! Unfulfilled sexual desire and unresolved anger dwell in my body, like the outcasts who cremate the dead. I live as a wild hunter, O Creator!
Guru Nanak speaks the Teachings; whoever listens to them is carried across.
They see the Truth, and they speak the Truth; their bodies and minds are True. True are their teachings, and True are their instructions; True are the reputations of the true ones.
The day and the sun shall pass away; the night and the moon shall pass away; the hundreds of thousands of stars shall disappear. He alone is permanent; Nanak speaks the Truth.
Those who have gathered Truth, speak Truth; they apply the Touch-stone of Truth.
Throughout the other seven watches of the day, it is good to speak the Truth, and sit with the spiritually wise. There, vice and virtue are distinguished, and the capital of falsehood is decreased. There, the counterfeit are cast aside, and the genuine are cheered.
